There's a place on the Camino de Santiago called the Cruz de Ferro. It's at the highest point on the Camino Frances. There's an old tradition, that people carry something up the mountain that symbolizes a burden which they want to leave behind and leave it at the foot of the cross, as part of their spiritual journey in the pilgrimage.
The rose that I've been carrying for you, every time I go hiking; I'm going to carry it one last time. And I'm going to leave it there. It's another thing that I'd hoped to give you one day. But I can't carry it any more. It's too heavy.
